Two Sides of the Same Coin: Het ontrafelen van de rol van transcriptiefactoren en miRNA's in geactiveerde monocyten, macrofagen en microglia
This thesis focusses on understanding the role of three transcriptions factors, namely ATF3, EGR3 and PU.1, and also microRNA-146a, involved in the activation of monocytes, macrophages and microglia in pathological conditions, which are thought to be driven – at least in part – by special inflammatory reactions. The diseases in question are severe psychiatric diseases, such as bipolar disorder, major depression, schizophrenia and postpartum psychosis and X-linked juvenile retinoschisis. In the introduction the immune cells, the diseases and the transcription factors + pathways will be introduced subsequently.
